Cast: Jane Gwilliams, Gil Sutherland, Naomi Wirthner, Gary Wright The black night of apartheid South Africa. An isolated farmhouse descends into ruin and decay. The rain will never come and in the dust, Sussie and Frikkie play out the punishment rituals of the past. Nothing is prohibited. Nothing is taboo. What will happen when an unwelcome visitor enters their world? Barebones Project came together to work with the singular and dangerous energy of this play. Its first performances were in the cellar of an animal food store and a Soho renovation project. They have just finished a run at the Brighton Fringe Festival. As our name implies we are committed to a kind of “poor theatre”. We aim to reveal the “bare bones” of the theatre experience, which means, primarily, removing all obstacles to the availability of the actor to the audience. Sets and props and lighting are minimal and are inevitably recycled, salvaged and borrowed.
